Chapter 349: A Preliminary Exploration of the Dungeon
Outside the entrance of the dungeon, as a large number of players continued to be kicked out of the dying, those who were already ready to enter were suddenly timid, and the difficulty of this dungeon was really more difficult than too many people expected.
Still, someone persevered.
The first batch of at least hundreds of thousands of people entered, and even if nine-tenths of them were kicked out, there were still tens of thousands of people left, and this part of the people was obviously the real elite!
So most of the players chose to wait and see, and it was not too late to wait for the first batch of elite players to come out and listen to what they had to say before making a decision.
And everyone didn't wait too long, and after more than ten minutes, the first batch of expeditions were finally kicked out because of overtime, and the forum was instantly active again.
One by one, players above level 10 kept appearing to speak, and the basics they brought back became positive news.
First and foremost: as long as you survive in the dungeon, the rewards will never be low!
Not to mention the experience income, just talking about the material income, as soon as the first dungeon ended, someone immediately posted a photo of the equipment that had just been synthesized in the blacksmith shop on the forum: a black iron-level sky breastplate.
Sky Breastplate: A blue-white breastplate with an overall appearance, the recipe is: one green crystal, three blue crystals, and 15 slug skins, and the attribute is to increase physical defense by 5.
For Black Iron level equipment, this attribute can only be considered barely qualified, but this is a set part after all, and the value will continue to increase as more parts are collected.
A complete black iron suit, in terms of attributes, is not inferior to the same number of ordinary level equipment.
What's more, such a piece of equipment, this player only used one copy to get it!
At this rate, it will only take a few days to assemble a complete set, which is a huge temptation for most players who have been in open beta for so long and can't even get together six bindings!
Some of these elite players who have played the dungeon have regrouped and re-invested in the dungeon, and some have begun to try to write some strategies, but due to incomplete information, most of the strategies are relatively scattered and have obvious errors and omissions.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the first more formal strategy post was finally born.
"Dawn City Strategy Group: Dungeon 1st Floor, Preliminary Exploration Report. 》
The publisher of this post is the famous strategy boss 'Blue-eyed White Dragon', and the content is of course much more reliable than those strategies of ordinary players.
Everyone who couldn't wait hurriedly clicked on it to check.
"Note that the effective area of this guide is limited to the western part of the first layer, and even only the route I explored. See picture. ”
This is followed by a picture of a zigzag hand-drawn road map, indicating only the monsters and objects encountered along the route.
From the direction of the route, it can be clearly seen that the dungeon is indeed a labyrinth, and many directions are dead ends, so you can only retreat and find the way, so you can get out of this effect of nine curves and eighteen bends.
"Overall, there are three things to look out for when entering the dungeon."
"First, the monsters on the first floor are mainly composed of slimes, disease slugs, mushroom people of different shapes, spore fungi, etc., among which except for mushroom people, the other three are poisonous, so you must prepare poison resistance equipment and antidote methods before entering."
"In this regard, you can use the 'poison glands' you get in the dungeon to exchange for antidotes and poison resistance powder in the pharmacy, the antidote can instantly remove the toxins already on your body, and the poison resistance powder can greatly increase the poison resistance within an hour, and at the same time, players below level 10 can be immune to poison gas."
"Second, for different monsters, you need to use different methods to deal with them, such as slimes, you must use long-range attacks to kill, otherwise, the poison traps that explode around the slime when they die are enough to take away more than 5,000 lives from melee personnel in a few seconds. When it comes to the mushroom people, it is the opposite, they must be killed with physical attacks, because this creature often appears in groups, without sight and hearing, but is sensitive to magic power, and once it uses magic to attack, it will instantly attract a large number of mushroom people to besiege. ”
"Finally, there is the spore fungus, this thing itself has no attack power, and the characteristic is that it will explode when it encounters a person, and after death, it will produce a tracking type of toxin missile, unless the speed can outrun the missile, it will almost certainly take a 500-point poison injury."
"There is no very good way to deal with this kind of thing, and you can only resist hard when you encounter it, but the good thing is that after this thing dies, it will steadily drop a poison gland, and you can pick it up without exerting physical strength, which is also the main source of the dungeon poison gland."
"Third, the team must be reasonable, melee and ranged, warriors and mages must be there to deal with various situations, in addition, be sure to bring healing! Even if you don't have a dedicated healer, you must have multiple healing spells in your team to continue, otherwise, unless your team has an average strength of more than fifteen, you will inevitably be kicked out of the near death, and it's just a matter of how long you last......"
The content of the post is not very much, but it is all dry goods.
Many people suddenly realized after reading it, no wonder they died so quickly before, this copy is so exquisite, not only to prepare antidote props, but also to have a neat team career.
In the proportion of players, the main Ghan Min has the most melee personnel, followed by ranged personnel with bows and crossbows, and then mages, and among the mages, there are very few healing spells, and the overall proportion is not even a tenth.
At this time, as soon as this post came out, the therapists became fragrant and sweet.
"Looking for a professional treatment team, those who pass will receive a purple ......"
"Therapeutic players who are paid to stay with the team for a long time, and the treatment is easy to say......"
"Sky Wolf Guild, high-priced recruitment of healing professions to settle in, the number is not limited, the more the merrier......"
……
The team page on the forum instantly became a large number of posts recruiting healers.
The value of the healers has soared, and many posts have blushed in the face of fighting for a treatment, and even various bids, similar to the auction site.
As a well-known anchor, many people know that he has a nun skin, an amazing amount of healing, and at the same time can use a variety of common auxiliary magic, and his own level is also high, so he can be said to be one of the auxiliary personnel who best meets the requirements of dungeon dungeons.
Within a few minutes of this post, Lin Hai received thousands of invitations to team up in the background, including invitations from various well-known forces and masters, as well as colleagues from the Business Alliance, who also sent private messages to team up with him.
However, for these invitations, Lin Hai chose to decline them all, even those colleagues of the Shang Alliance, and his reason was very sufficient: "The city lord invited me!" ”
In just six words, everyone has nothing to say: if it were other characters, some of them might have to try to fight, but Captain Ghost, who would dare to say that their team could be stronger than this big guy? Moreover, this wave of homeopathic ties to the relationship with the city lord, it is easy to mix in a long-term stable position in the future, and this condition is something they can't provide no matter what, so everyone has to give up.
At this time, Mu You had already pulled his men and horses and came to the entrance of the dungeon.
In addition to Lin Hai, he also specially invited another member of the Business Alliance: Xia Worm Yubing.
He entered the dungeon, farming monsters is only one aspect, the most important thing is to advance the progress of the dungeon as soon as possible, so he needs to find the exit to the second floor as soon as possible.
And the first thing Mu You thought of was Xia Worm Yubing's 'honest coin'.
This coin can make her walk on the 'most correct path' every step of the way, and for a maze like a dungeon, the most correct place is either a place where high-value treasures are hidden, or there is only an exit, and Mu You prefers the latter.
Xia Worm Yubing suddenly received an invitation from the city lord, and was also very surprised, and then after listening to Mu You's explanation, she was relieved, coupled with the other party's promise to give her a long-term senior position as a reward, Xia Worm Yubing agreed to this errand without much hesitation.
[You formed a team with the Red Scythe Girl, Qing Ya Shuxiang, Lin Haihai, and Xia Worm Yubing and entered the first floor of the dungeon together. 】
[You have lit the soul lamp on the first floor of the dungeon, and when you enter the dungeon, you can choose to appear on any floor where the soul lamp has been lit.] 】
The 'Qing Ya Shuxiang' in the team is the name of the stand-in card that Xiao Ya has just activated.
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Mu You first tried to release the dark teleportation.
The result pops up a prompt: [The dungeon is a special environment, and all space magic cannot be released.] 】
Sure enough, you can't arrange a teleportation array......
Mu You wasn't too surprised, but all spatial magic was blocked here, which meant that even the spells of teleportation and shapeshifting could not be used.
[Ling's team appears in front of a spar mine, and to your left is a cluster of green spar ore, are you mining?] 】
"Yes."
As soon as he came in, he encountered a cluster of gems, and Mu You tried mining first.
[Before you come to the crystal mine, the team's action is -1, mining is in progress, and it is expected to end in five minutes......]
【You have obtained Green Magic Crystal*2.】 】
[Green Magic Crystal: One of the most common low-level gems on the first floor of the dungeon, it has abundant magic power and good hardness, and can be used to craft a variety of black iron-level sky set parts. 】
[You see that the hedron clusters that you have excavated automatically retract into the rock and disappear, and will not resurface until they grow to a sufficient size. 】
It seems that the ores in this dungeon are specially set up with a resource protection mechanism, and the gems on the surface will automatically retract after mining, in case greedy people also pick the roots, causing them to dry up and fish.
Having said that, it takes five minutes to complete a collection, which is inefficient, and a copy is only an hour in total.
So then the text asked if he would continue to collect the spar mine next to him, and Mu You decisively chose no.
Just take a look at the mechanics, they're here to try speedrunning, and they can't waste too much time on mining.
[Xia Worm Yubing: Next, take the middle road. 】
Several people continued to move forward, and when they encountered the next fork in the road, Xia Worm Yubing gave a hint in time.
As the captain, Mu You was responsible for controlling the direction of the team's movements, and at this time he chose the middle lane, and at the same time recorded the route on the paper at hand.
[You choose to continue going straight.] 】
[You saw three dark green jelly-like creatures blocking in front of you, and when you spotted you, they immediately squirmed towards you. 】
[Acid Slime (Level 11), Attack 15-17, Defense 35, Health: 4000 points, Ability: Acid Spray, Activate Toxin Trap on death.] 】
[You unleash the fire spear spell at the slime, and a continuous stream of fire spears are shot out of your hand, igniting all the slimes.] 】
[Under the high burning damage, the health of the three slimes quickly slips until they die.] 】
[You have killed a slime*3, lifespan +3, experience +10, gain 'Slime Gel'*3, 'Poison Gland'*3.] 】
[The slime explosion creates a ripple of toxin that spreads, but it doesn't affect you or your teammates.] 】
……
The team went all the way smoothly, and the monsters encountered were basically killed in seconds.
After all, a few people came in after reading the strategy, and they expected all kinds of situations, and even if they encountered monsters that were not mentioned in the strategy, Mu You also had an omniscient crystal, but it was really not good and there was a backtracking of the pocket watch, and the error tolerance rate was extremely high.
But even so, there are still some troubles that I can't hide from.
"To the left."
At the next intersection, Xia Worm Yubing gave a hint as usual.
The group had no objections and moved on.
However, after walking out of a paragraph, Mu You quickly discovered that something was wrong, and hurriedly traced back according to the table.
"Stop, retreat!"
Mu You typed this sentence as fast as he could, but he was still one step too late.
[You see a large number of floating spore fungi wriggling in mid-air at the intersection ahead.] 】
[The excessive number of spores here makes you realize that you may have broken into the nest of spore fungi. 】
[A large number of spores are floating towards you, and you and the team members hurriedly retreat.] 】
[Hundreds of spores exploded in the air, turning into a series of dark green toxin missiles, which flew towards you. 】
[You were lucky enough to escape the missile's pursuit, but the Red Scythe Maiden who fell at the end was drowned in the green poisonous mist explosion......]
[The Red Scythe Maiden enters a near-death state and automatically teleports back to the surface.] 】
Spore fungus, this thing is a bit like a dungeon version of a self-exploding fish, which rushes to self-detonate when it encounters a person, causing toxin damage and is difficult to dodge.
This wave of others reluctantly withdrew, but Lin Xue was left behind because he was still in a weak state and his speed was too slow, and the result was that he blocked the knife for them, and was directly drowned in a large amount of poisonous gas and returned to the city.
"Ah, I'm sorry......"
Xia Worm Yubing was suddenly panicked, she brought this road to her, and she brought the team into the monster's lair at the beginning of her thinking, and directly reduced the team.
[Red Scythe Girl: It's okay, it's okay, just continue.] 】
Lin Xue comforted Xia Worm in the game, and then sent a private message to Mu You.
"You go on, I won't follow, my life is too low now, and there is almost no way to react when I encounter an emergency, and following is also a drag for you."
Mu You naturally understood what Lin Xue meant, her current attributes are in single digits, resulting in her life being maintained at a very low level, which is indeed not suitable for the next book, so she didn't force it at this time, let her rest well, and continue to move forward with the team.
[You have picked up 'poison glands' around you.*113.] 】
[You continue to walk forward with the team, and soon find that on the mountain wall in front of you, there are two plant pipes that resemble giant trumpet flowers, protected by a layer of light film. 】
[This is the 'fungal vent', the mother nest of spore fungi that automatically produces one spore fungus every minute on average.] When the spores are ejected, they pass through the light film and float like dandelions to all corners of the first floor of the dungeon. 】
[Because the fungal vent is protected within a special barrier, it is impassable for ordinary people. However, as the lord of the city, you have the right to revoke and build any barrier in the dungeon at any time. Is the barrier opened to permanently eliminate the fungal vent? 】
"No."
Mu You directly clicked the fork.
Although the spore thing is very annoying, the poison gland that drops is one of the necessary materials for the dungeon, and he doesn't need it himself, but other players will definitely need it, and of course he can't destroy it casually.
But then again, since he can build a barrier at any time, he can find a suitable place in the dungeon to place the eggs he obtained earlier.
Waiting for the queen to mature in this way will not only give the player an additional option to farm monsters, but he can also periodically harvest a wave of the queen's flesh as a source of meat for the Shadow Wolves.
